That's plain enough, isn't it? You're no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He's using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.
God is an international God and we're not limited by our country or culture under Christ - we're equal and we're not alone! There is no language barrier or customs between God and His family. So go - do His work and stop making excuses! (I'm talking to myself. Seriously, my excuses are lame. What's stopping me from following God to the local and/or exotic places that need to hear His name?!)
